How does a Facebook group experience exponential growth overnight? How do you maintain a safe space with such a large growing audience? When do you start setting boundaries around work and your personal life?

Founded in 2018, Delilah Antoinette created a Facebook group for Black women centered around self-care and healing practices. She created a safe space that otherwise did not exist for Black women. Women who gathered to learn more about meditation, yoga, crystals, and soon the group grew to 15,000 members.

The pandemic doubled membership to 30,000 as everybody was experiencing loss, confusion, and searching for a safe space to heal. It became a retreat for even those who didn’t know any healing practices.

And with growth, comes evolving discourse. Delilah maps out her techniques for keeping negativity at bay and putting encouragement and occasional tough love at the center. These tactics work within her community and also in her business practices. In this episode Delilah shares her secrets to trusting the right people, setting boundaries for a work-life balance, and owning her CEO mindset.
